Self-Rising Flour

You'll notice the basic recipe for Beer
Bread calls for self-rising flour. Now, I don't know of much
you can make with self-rising flour, except Beer Bread, so I
didn't (and still don't) tend to keep it on hand. Which means
going out for special ingredients every time I wanted to make
Beer Bread (besides the beer, which is always a special ingredient
for me, since I certainly don't drink the stuff -- yech!).

Now, I knew self-rising flour was just regular
flour with some extra stuff -- baking soda and salt, but I didn't
know what proportions of these to add, so I was stuck always
buying it, searching for the "recipe". Well, would
you believe it, I found it on the side of a self-rising flour
bag (it seems dumb of them to put it there, since because of
that I no longer had to buy their product, but hey -- I'm grateful).
